Summary

Shakamak Elementary School is a PK–6 school serving 384 students in the small rural community of Jasonville, Indiana, part of MSD Shakamak Schools. In the 2025–2026 SchoolDigger ranking it placed 677th out of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 33rd percentile, with a 2-star rating — while its district ranked 291st out of 374 districts (22nd percentile, 1 star), making the school a relative bright spot locally but still below the state median. Historically Shakamak hovered near the state median, with several 3-star years, but the last two years show a clear decline: 31st percentile in 2024–2025 and 33rd percentile in 2025–2026.

English language arts is the clearest weakness. All-grades ELA proficiency was 22.46% in 2025–2026, down from 36.61% two years earlier, and below the state in every tested grade — 5th grade ELA was just 16.22% versus 42.2% statewide. Math is comparatively stronger at 41.71%, well above the district's 30.77%, and 5th grade math (45.95%) actually beat the state (42%). Science (32%) and 5th grade social studies (40.54%) lagged. Among nearby schools, Shakamak sits ahead of only Carlisle Elementary School, Northeast North Elementary School, and Sullivan Elementary School, and trails 4-star schools such as Northeast East Elementary School (82nd percentile), Linton-Stockton Elementary School (75th percentile), and Clay City Elementary School (70th percentile).

Attendance is a real strength: chronic absenteeism fell from 17.1% in 2022–2023 to 6.2% in 2024–2025, far below the district's 8.7% and the state's 16.7%. Poverty and funding don't easily explain the low achievement — 48.96% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch, lower than several nearby schools, and per-student spending was $10,743 with a 15.3 student-teacher ratio, both moderate locally. Northeast East Elementary School, for example, serves more low-income students with larger classes yet scores far higher in ELA, math, and science. The takeaway: attendance and math are bright spots, but ELA instruction is the most important area for improvement.
